CHRISTMAS EVE TOUR TO JERUSALEM &AMP; BETHLEHEM

Join our Christmas Eve tour on the 24th of December, 2017

Jerusalem Christmas has a unique atmosphere which is very different from Christmas in the Western world. There are no Christmas markets, no Santa Claus or caroling on the streets. The celebrations are mostly taking place on the Christian Quarter, with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre hosting a midnight mass. Christmas in Jerusalem is also an opportunity to visit some of the holiest sites of Christianity, the Via Dolorosa and Bethlehem.

TOUR PROGRAM

The driver will pick you up from hotel. Drive to Mount Scopus for a magnificent and breathtaking view of the illuminated Old and New Cities. Then drive around the city walls and gates, entering the Old City via Jaffa Gate. From there, we will walk the Via Dolorosa, retracing the steps of Jesus to the place of His Cruxcification including a short visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

After the visit, we drive to Bethlehem; where we will have a short stop in a souvenir store for tea, coffee and shopping. Afterwards, we will proceed for a view of Manger's square and the Shepherd's Field.

Then we enjoy a festive Christmas dinner at a local restaurant, specially decorated for the Holidays. Later, we will watch the Midnight Mass broadcasted live on screens at Manger's square (subject to Palestinian Authority's approval). After the Mass, we return to the meeting point, meet our representative and return to Jerusalem, Herzliya and Tel-Aviv hotels.
